I am a poet and a former literary critic from Finland, born in 1977. I have taught creative writing and literary theory on a university and college level since 2001. While a doctoral student, I worked as a junior research fellow at Tampere University and the Finnish Graduate School for Literary Studies from 2007 to 2010 specializing in the material culture of early modern English poetry. I have published five collections of poetry (Turistina t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4<\/em>, 2004; Lohik\u00e4\u00e4rmeen poika<\/em>, 2007; Futurama<\/em>, 2010; S\u00e4keit\u00e4<\/em>, 2010; Paha \u00e4iti<\/em>, 2012) and a chapbook (Hautausmaa<\/em>, 2015) along with numerous articles, essays and reviews in Finnish literary magazines. In 2005-2007 I edited the premier Finnish poetry magazine Tuli&Savu<\/em>, and 2009-2010 I was its web editor. I was among the founders of the communal poetry publisher Osuuskunta Poesia and have reviewed poetry and fiction for the major Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat<\/em>. I have also performed and produced installations and artwork with the sound art collective Linnunlaulupuu. In 2016 I heeded Petrarch’s advice and withdrew into contemplation to serve a lyric calling. Fruits thereof may appear; non est in manibus meis<\/em>.<\/p>\n
